i have a winform project release like this: a.exe b.dll c.dll en-US/d.dll

i use ./ILMerge.exe /targetplatform:v4 /ndebug /target:winexe /out:sa.exe a.exe b.dll c.dll en-US/d.dll but when i run sa.exe, it says d.dll cannot be loaded. i am new to ILMerge, is there anyone who can help me? thanks

@lextm thanks for your reply. i just read this thread, it write a class to override resource-finding fallback mechanisms... i want to know if there is a better method, no coding, no changes after every update of XXX.Designer.cs perhaps ILMerge.exe/ILRepack.exe can add path/directory support in the future? i have an stupid method, compress my release directory to a .rar file, set self-extraction and auto execute my program after the extraction. it works, but not perfect too... if there is any better method, or better plan, please tell me here, thanks all

There seems to be no "better method, no coding, no changes".

.NET Core 3.0 should finally eliminate the needs of ILMerge/IL Repack as well, if Microsoft can fulfill the promise to "bundle your app and .NET Core together as in a single executable",
